THE HoBoKEN KrBMEss.
The Close OF Brilliant Affair at Our
Lady of Grace.

Lady of Grace.
After successful run of one week, the
Kirmess held at Odd Fellows Hall, for the
benefit of the Church of Our Lady of Grace,
of Hoboken, closed last Tuesday evening"
The closing night brought out larger at
tendance than any previous night. Four
youthful auctioneers shouted themselves
hoarse in dlsposing of the goods at the diff
ferent booths, and at the hour of closing
very few articles remained to be sold. Most
of the articles were sold at good prices, and
Is estimated that the net proceeds of the
Kirmess will reach a very large amount,
although the expenses were considerable.
Corporation Attorney Minturn, of Hobo
ken, says that undue credit was given him
in the notice of the Kirmess in aid of Father
Colrigan's new rectory in our issue of last
Sunday. He wished it stated that he took
no active part in the Kirmess, and that the
credit for the success Of the entertainment
belongs to the young men, and particularly
to the young ladies of Hoboken and Jersey
City who gave their valuable services for
long time before and during the Kirmess.
1t is only matter of justice to state here
that as many people from Jersey City as
I from Hoboken patronized it, and that
twice as much money was spent by the for
mer as by the latter. Among the many
< Jersey City people who gave their time and
services to this good work, or who generous
" patronized it, were the following:
Mrs. Michael Doylo and daughters, Mr..
and Mrs. Martin Davitt and family, the
Misses Reilly of Jersey avenue, the Misses
Sheeran and Craver, Miss Becky O'Don-
nell, Miss English and Mr.. and Mrs Rich
ard English of Jersey avenue, Mrs. George
Smith and daughter LILY of Varick street,
Miss Drum and the Misses Canlin' Alder
man ORourke and Miss Gerrity, Mrs
Mulry nee Corrigan of Dudley street, a

and McKenna of Seventh street, Miss
Egan of Bright street, the Misses Walsh,
daughters of Mr.. F. Walsh of Newark
avenue; Mr.. James Whalen, Harry Nc
Grath, Mr. John Gerrity, Mr.. James Il,
Brown, Mr.. j. DENIM, who made very

valuable work of art,
On Wednesday evening Father Corrigan
tandered reception to the ladies of gen.
tlemen who aided in the success of the
Kirmess. Odd Fellows Hall was hand
somely decorated with, bunting and ban
ners, and brilliant asssmbIy took advan-
